So the PS3 version of Bioshock Infinite contains Bioshock and you need to download the entire game in order to play it. Do you still need the disc afterwords? Can you play Bioshock without the disc in the PS3?

I would also guess no. I would think they just give you a key to download Bioshock 1, as if you had bought it on PSN, then it would work like any other PSN game.

If this is true, I would assume it's a one time usage thing? Anyway, my guess is yes since that's been the case with games I have that also include another game on disc- Medal of Honor and Assassin's Creed Revelations. Both games made me install a huge file for the other game, but required that the disc be in to play said games. So unless it's different, I would assume that's the case here.

It install to your hard drive so I believe that you don't need the disc

Good question. I'll install it and remove the disc to see if it still works.

You probably will. I just bought the Ultimate Rapture Edition, which includes both Bioshock 1 and 2 before I bought Infinite or I would go check for you real quick. The reason Im saying you probably will is because I bought the Killzone Trilogy and for the original Killzone to play, you have to have the Killzone 2 disc in. Im assuming it's the same situation with Bioshock.
